Consider the burdens of a megayacht owner. She has to pay for a crew, which can cost more than $1.4 million, cover its maintenance, which occasionally totals more than $1 million a year, and shell out for docking fees, which can cost more than $350,000 annually. Cutting corners on the first two expenses isn't really an option, but the dockage costs, at least, can be mitigated.
Recently, a spate of houses with their own private deep-water docks have hit the market, so owners can sail in and park their yachts free of onerous charges—convenient and cost-saving to boot.
